Biography
Self-taught, he arrived in Barcelona in 1960 to begin his studies in chemical sciences. There he began his career as a photographer doing travel reports. However, from the very beginning, he opted for themes far removed from photojournalism, and in 1972 he held his first exhibition.[citation needed]
In 2023 the Centre Internacional de Fotografia Toni Catany was inaugurated in his hometown.[6]
